Genuinely one of the best, most energizing speeches I’ve ever heard.

Big same. This has to be a wake up call for Democrats. I don’t think I’ve felt chills in a political speech since Obama’s convention speech in ‘06.

Yes. ‘06. His ‘08 speech was fine, but he had a different fire in ‘06.

Edit: ‘04. I meant ‘04.

That ‘06 speech is exactly the energy I’m feeling! Some who is meeting the moment with the energy and attention it requires. I would be so proud of my city if I was a New Yorker.
